    This song is so beautiful. I wasn't sure what to think of this collaboration before I heard it, but it works so well. Bono's vocals at the end just make it so perfectly.

    "I went with nothing but the thought you'd be there too.
    Lookin' for you.

    I went out searching, looking for one good man.
    A spirit who would not bend or break, who would sit at his father's right hand.
    I went out walking with a Bible and a gun.
    The word of god laid heavy on my heart.
    I was sure I was the one.
    Now Jesus, don't you wait up.
    Jesus I'll be home soon.
    Yeah, I went out for the papers, told her I'd be back by noon.

    Yeah, I left with nothing but the thought you'd be there too.
    Lookin' for you.

    Yeah, I left with nothing, nothing but the thought of you.
    I went wandering."

    One of the very, very few Johnny Cash songs I don't like.
